prognostication made “at a conference” in early December by Stephanie Seneff, PhD (whose web biography described her as a “Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,” not an individual specializing in epidemiology.) The precise location, date, and general scope of the December 2014 conference in question was not disclosed in the article, but a reference was made to the general subject of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
